Holy Week is a period in which Catholics decide not to eat meat in Rome, Italy
This footage was filmed and produced 11 March 2024. Holy Week is a period in which those most faithful to Catholic traditions decide not to eat meat and prefer seafood and fish. Commonly, the day on which meat consumption is omitted is Good Friday, but there are those who prefer to remove this food from the weekly menu while the cycle from Sunday to Sunday continues. Although no passage in the Bible directly refers to this prohibition, a tradition was established that simulates the honor of the penance of the son of God, who spent 40 days in the desert fasting. Holy Week, which begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday and celebrates the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, is interpreted as a day of penance, a way to unify a ritual. So the advice of the church is abstinence from eating meat. An individual decision, which in itself does not represent a sin. Not eating red or white meat would be, under Christian precepts, an act of purification that represents the sacrifice of Christ, a tribute to his feat of having fasted for forty days before the events that led to his resurrection. Meat, then, is just a symbol. The genuine meaning of not eating meat and eating fish is because, in the Mediterranean basin and in Palestine, fish was much cheaper than meat. And as they sought to dispense with the most expensive and substantial, fish gained greater presence on this date. SHOTLIST: 1. Various meat sales in Italy; 2.
